A heads-up for a couple of special items that I will have up on eBay tomorrow (Sunday) evening.

The first is an Apollo-Soyuz 40th Anniversary envelope flown on the International Space Station during 2015. It has the ISS and Russian Segment stamps, as well as on-orbit signatures by Expedition 43/44/45/46 crewmembers, including 1-year mission participants Kelly and Kornienko. The envelope paper has a slightly metallic sheen which doesn’t show up in the photos.

Only 50 of these envelopes were flown. I think it’s a great connection between the first U.S./Russian ASTP flight and the first year-long U.S./Russian mission 40 years later.

The second is another of the Roscosmos Gagarin VIP gift boxes, identical to one that I had earlier this month. I didn’t expect to find another of these (only 50 were made), but one has surfaced.

If you would like additional photos and details, please check out the eBay auctions tomorrow evening through my eBay page. Thanks for looking!

All times are CT (US)
